What is Brahma Muhurat?

Brahma Muhurat (ब्रह्म मुहूर्त, also spelled Brahma Muhurta) is the auspicious time period that begins 96 minutes (1 hour 36 minutes) before sunrise and lasts for 48 minutes. Known as the 'Creator's Hour' or 'Time of Brahma', this sacred period is considered the most favorable time for spiritual practices, meditation, yoga, and study. During this time, the atmosphere is charged with Sattva Guna (pure quality), making it ideal for connecting with higher consciousness and spiritual growth.
